Question
What is the relation between intermolecular space and intermolecular force ?
Advertisements
Solution
The force of attraction between the molecules of a given substance is called intermolecular force and the space between these molecules is called intermolecular space.
The basic relation between the two is that they are inversely proportional to each other. More is the intermolecular force lesser is the intermolecular space and vice-versa.
